This week Eric and Bill get into a conversation about proprietary alternatives to opensource software. It starts with us describing how we've both begun using Reaper instead of Audacity for editing the audio for our shows.
Let us know what your think. What, if any proprietary software are you using on Linux. Is it just enough that the developers make their software available on Linux? We'd love to know what you think.

I ain't gonna lie folks - this one's a train wreck, and you'll see for your self. We did get into a pretty cool conversation about game emulation. Bill ordered one of those little Linux based personal game pads which comes pre-installed with a staggering number of games. That erodes into a back and forth about stuff like D&D as well as Magic The Gathering. As the title suggests, it's a hot mess, but we had a lot of fun none the les...
